edited, by the way, at that time by rebecca brooks. they sent 20 scantily clad women to her office and had loads of photographs everywhere. they described the minister at the time as frumpy, dumpy, fat and ugly. there was humiliation as a form of coercion and then we heard yesterday, gordon brown, the former prime minister, talking about the fact that his disabled son, his son has cystic fibrosis, medical records for his son alleged by gordon brown in the house of commons yesterday, was stolen from a hospital by a criminal that he believes was working for "the sunday times" newspaper. so you have that kind of power. you have the ability to humiliate an mp and the ability to intervene in their personal life and that's why he was so forceful and powerful. i can tell you, andrea, until about three weeks ago, you couldn't count on five fingers the number of politicians who would stand up to rupert murdoch in britain because every single one of them was frightened of his influence. >> of course, gordon brown's little boy frazier is doing ve

brooks who you mentioned. where it goes from here, all eyes will be trained on parliament tomorrow where rue purt murdoch, his son james and rebeckka brooks will be answering tough questions. on the top of their list how high up in the organization did knowledge of the phone hacking go? rebeckka brooks has already said repeatedly that she had no knowledge of the phone hacking until now. and that she regrets the phone hacking. she's apologized for it several times. so has rupert murdoch himself in a full page advertisement in british newspapers this weekend. but everyone will be watching to see how they answer these questions. >> thank you so much. >>> what are the legal implications both in london and here at home. joining us now on the phone john burns london bureau chief of "the new york times." john, thanks for joining us. what are the implications for david cameron? would the prime minister and his party be at risk in all this? >> it's quite interesting if you listen very carefully to what the labor party

. >> what david brooks wrote last week, interestingly, and certainly some republicans took note of it because david brooks is well known and well respected in republican and democratic circles as a "new york times" writer. he said if the republican party were a normal party, it would take advantage of this amazing moment. it is being offered the deal of the century, trillions of dollars in spending cuts in exchange for a few hundred billion dollars of revenue increases. and there have been bipartisan and nonpartisan groups that have suggested it would be $400 billion of loophole closures that could be affected without calling it in effect a tax increase. >> well, our budget which was passed last april, proposed to close all these loopholes in exchange for tax reform. so we were the first to call for closing all these corporate tax loopholes to lower our tax rates, to create jobs. so nobody should hold a candle to us on wanting to close loopholes. we have been saying that forever. it's just all the spending cuts, we have yet to see specifics. we have yet to see commitments to do this.

brooks is not listening to the same people i'm listening to which are my constituents. i don't think the message that he got from the november election was the same message i got. now we're spending 43 cents out of every dollar is borrowed money. the national debt's $14.3 trillion and threatens a sovereign debt crisis unless we deal with it and there's no national monetary fund to big the united states out if we turn out like greece. it's premature to be beclairing who is reasonable and not. negotiations really didn't start seriously until the president himself got personally engaged and ultimately only he and mitch mcconnell and john boehner are the ones that are able to make a deal. it's going to have to pass through the house of representatives and it's going to have to pass through the senate. that's why i think when president clinton said it may be too late to get a comprehensive dole and only a mini deal done to kick the can down the road but to get the cuts we can, that may be the practical outcome here. it's really too early to say. >> what about pocketing what
